A 16TB NAS ≠ "a spare hard drive"!

And if it does...

A 16TB NAS ≠ "a spare hard drive"!

And if it does...

Cost? Price out x4 4TB NAS drives from seagate, then add about another $350 for a controller/software/box to house them in. To build one with separate parts, you would be up around $1600 or so. The Seagate box with the drives included came to just under $1100 if memory serves me correctly.

With Raid 5 active, my data is safe as long as I only have single drive failure. I should also be good for a while with my storage needs for the household. With everyone backed up, all media migrated over, I still have over 9TB of usable space left.

So after cooling off from my TCG collecting addiction, I found my latest addiction: Strategy guide collecting.

I can’t help it though… I love me a good strategy guide. Hell, I even have some fond memories of some pretty terrible strategy guides. Like the Prima guide for Turok 2...

Anyway, without further ado, here’s the list of all the guides I’ve ordered on Amazon:

BradyGames
Dragon Quest IV
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest VI
Dragon Quest VIII

Final Fantasy Tactics: the War of the Lions
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Folklore
Parasite Eve
Perfect Dark

Resident Evil 0
Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams
Suikoden IV
Suikoden V
Suikoden Tactics
Threads of Fate
Valkyria Chronicles
White Knight Chronicles
White Knight Chronicles II
Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages

DoubleJump
Disgaea Compilation Guide (Somehow covers Disgaea DS, Hour of Darkness, and Afternoon of Darkness in fewer pages than most guides that only cover a single game)

Future Press (These ones are really nice!)
Dark Souls

Killzone 3
Portal 2
Soul Calibur V

Nintendo
Final Fantasy III (AKA FF6)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Pokemon Black 2 & White 2
Pokemon Black 2 & White 2 Pokedex
Pokemon Diamond & Pearl
Pokemon Emerald
Pokemon Platinum
Pokemon Yellow
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion
Wild Arms 4
Zelda Box Set (Pre-order, contains Ocarina of Time 3D, Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword strategy guides)
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Pre-order)
Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages

Versus Books
Pokemon Red, Blue & Yellow
Pokemon Crystal
Pokemon TCG
Wild Arms 3

Then lastly, two books that aren’t strategy guides, but are nonetheless about a specific game:
Pokemon Essential Handbook (Scholastic)
Silent Hill: The Terror Engine (University of Michigan Press)

been busting my ass all summer working so finally decided to buy myself some stuff.

And because I'm finding film to be my addiction now...

2 Packs of FP-3000B Black and White film for the Polaroid 103

5 packs of FP-100C color for the Polaroid (I'm still trying to find more of the Land Cameras)

and 5 rolls of XP-2 Black and White film.

What's that?

 

[Dooblewasur]

I paid for shipping on an eBay item I sold with free shipping. So exciting!

 

[DG_Silva]

What's that?

It's a bracket to hold 35mm film steady so you can scan it in to a computer, providing a black background, and you don't have to chop the reel up.

 

[SPhilli911]

Feeding my addiction. The most up to date history of the 911.

 

[Pako]

New camera:

 

[kikie]

You 'cameraded' the new camera.

Very nice camera.

 

[Pako]

. Of course. Using the new sensors in the iPhone 5s never the less.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

I just bought some windshield wipers for my neighbors truck since I have been driving that this week. $30.00. Nothing worth taking a pic of.

However I will have MUCH more to share in about a week. Which will put a major dent in my wallet.

 

[kikie]

Today, I bought two LED fog lights. 12v 5W, H7 connector

Major investment of €35.

Do you think I should get this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Avante-Azure-Mini-4WD-Pro/dp/B001E45ZKQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1382126050&sr=8-5&keywords=tamiya+mini+4wd+avante
I got a £15 voucher from school and this is the only think I can think of.

A ticket from Saint Louis to Sanfrancisco. I didn't really pay for it since I have free flights.

Could get something practical like

Long story short, I dropped my LG and it was completely killed, AT&T says my phone insurance was canceled during a phone call a few months ago for some mysterious reason, and having the screen repaired was way more expensive than it should be. Considered cancelling and going to another company, figured they would all try and rip me off one way or the other, so I did something else.

I took advantage of AT&T's payment plan and got myself one of these:

One thing I didn't know about it was that it comes with a camera strap, which is great help in avoiding dropping yet another phone. I'm loving it so far. And this thing is never going to leave it's case, it seems like the moment I remove a phone from it's case for any reason I drop it.

Xbox One is out of the question for me this year now, too. But I'm better off with the phone than buying something I'd only use for a couple games. I still feel ripped off about my LG, but I figured if I was gonna replace it I was better off putting the money toward this instead of an Xbox.

 

[phillgt2002]

That phone is really nice. My dad uses it daily and he has no problems, I would recommend upgrading the battery personally though. The camera is insane.

Sony Playstation 3

I bought it off my friend who had hardly ever used it and doesn't use it anymore. It's the 80 GB hard drive version of the original PS3.

 

[kikie]

Is this the one that has backwards compatibility for ps2 games?

I believe it was the 60GB but I'm not sure.

 

[Mr. S]

Is this the one that has backwards compatibility for ps2 games?

I believe it was the 60GB but I'm not sure anymore.

If it's one of the models listed below it is PS3 compatible.

• CECHExx
• CECHCxx
• CECHAxx
• CECHBxx

All models built from October '07 on no longer had this feature. There's an exhaustive list of features per model available here (look at PS2-Kompatibilität) which isn't in the English Wikipedia article, sadly.

Last night

Sod a midnight launch, and couldn't decided on editions.

I suppose you could possibly sell your LG on eBay or the like to recoup a bit of cash...

EDIT
It's my birthday so...

I'd known this from GT5 (see: Implosionatic) and after seeing it at a record store in vinyl I just knew there would come a day when I would own it myself but it wasn't worth $22 in store.
Thanks Discogs for saving me money!

 

[kennylmao]

And, nice choice Minty! 👍 I'm considering that phone as a worthy replacement of my current one, but not until Nokia releases it in lime green.
